In lj_biz, a question is asked: Why are pro-anorexia communities tolerated?

coffeechica, who is one of the people running Livejournal, manages to clearly demonstrate that she has no idea what "pro-anorexia" means, and then flip-flop repeatedly on why some of the TOS are more equal than others. It's a train wreck.

It's like the time I learned why you don't mix ammonia and bleach.

It burns, it does. Glad I still have my esophagus and other internal body parts in relative working order.

Going to get my ducks in a row within the next couple of weeks and just make mine a frivolity journal.

Since they take their permaban people and cancel all accounts by email address (communities, etc) from what I saw from Ponderosa and others ... I'll have to do something about that. Sigh.

This person makes the case that all fanfic (http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/lawpoli/free-expression/tsol.php?r=na) is illegal and it's interesting, if based on a flawed premise, but most of this situation is based on premises with flaws.

In case you don't want to read all the way down to page 36 for my comment/performance art ...

It's actually a good thing that Brad is leaving. Then after a few more weeks of frothing, he can come back in and "save it" with a decent response. Or they can find a vocal "hater" and hire him/her to wander in and fix it better. If they care.

Hey, have you seen this post?

Aside from LJ/6a asshattery, social networks have/are evolving, thanks in no small part to Brad. But that's a discussion for my off hours another day.
